Multis

The big one is an old Leatherman Wave, an excellent multi. The two small Gerber multis are also excellent. There's also an issue (Navy) TL-1 that I flew with for many years.

ZT351TS some 1/4" 2x2 G10, a strip of 6.4 Ti, #2 hardware, a dremel to shape the grip and a torch to bend the clip. All I really wanted was a deep carry clip for my ZT351. I couldn't find a maker anywhere so it snowballed a little.

VERY NICE BLADE!!

I have been thinking about fashioning something like this for my 0350TS, I just don't like the factory clip. Would you think about fashioning and selling deep pocket clips?

Also, where did you get aftermarket scales?

If you like the "wave" feature, you can take the two on top in your photo and put a small plastic zip-tie in the thumb hole, works quite well for me...

I found some real art on the web and a lot of help from USknifemaker.com

and got inspired. (Obviously not my work)

Dremeled up a NRA freebie knife for practice with good results.

Made a scale for my ZT561. Really easy.

It made me a little over confident for my real goal of doing the ZT350

The ZT350 was much more difficult.
1- the right side scale has a 3 knurled nuts set into it.
2- 2 clip screws close together threaded into the steel side plate thru the scale.

I first tried to make a clip out of a spare steel Spyderco clip. Burned it up like a matchstick with the torch. Thankfully, the 6/4 Ti blank from USKnifemaker.com took much better to bending with heat. Try it yourself. Mangle it and your only out $4.

Shaping the scales to fit your hand is fun and satisfying.

boatbiologist - Wow, that is some quality work.
Inspiring.

Swords

Swords count in the blades section, right?
A few more play toys.

The one on the left is a replica of the famous "Ivanhoe" sword.
The next one is a replica of one everybody knows: Excalibur.
(Both of those swords purchse in Toledo Spain many years ago)

The next one is an Excalibur that I made when I was only twelve years old...I'm 51 now and it's still sharp and dangerous!

The one on the right is a replica Katana, also from Toledo Spain.

Mostly cheap playthings, however, the boot knife (upper left) was always in my flight boots during many years as Navy flyer, and the issue survival knife (upper right) I'm pretty fond of too. My favorite is the K-Bar, nearly bottom-center.

Nice collection.

Looks like I have my next project... THANKS!! :thumbsup:

Just bought this - Condor Golok.

This thing is a beast. It came sharp, but I decided it needed to be honed and stropped. Now, it's a big 2 lb razor blade. Cut myself twice working on it… Stupid.

Anyways, it's got a nice balance and feel. Can't wait to chop some stuff in the yard - or Zombies in the event of an outbreak.

Got a set of Allan Putman scales to freshen up my 550 grip, no longer feels hollow and fat, it's thinner, a little heavier, but far more solid, and fit perfectly.

My new EDC - Kershaw 1760DAM Damascus Skyline...

pc1256 · Mar 24, 2014

Those are some unique looking knives, especially that pistol/knife... and that elephant manicure...

Newest addition...custom Pro-Tech Sprint "Cali-legal" automatic with custom abalone inlay. It's small at under 2 inches, but surprisingly capable and very well-made. Fit and finish is fantastic!

I plan to have a carbon damascus blade made for it when I find someone who will do it.

They have an even more limited edition model made with 600 million year old bone and damascus which I am starting to fall for...

Condor Jungle Bowie. Christmas gift from my brother.

Some "Made in the USA" fixed blades. One in the photo is a rice-burner - kudos to the member who can ID it.

The background flag is a new acquisition, dual-sided embroidered, and so freakin' cool I shouldn't be allowed (by our MD fathers) to own it! :party29:

Schrade Extreme Nitro Folder...I could not resist the looks at $22 as the styling is so unique. It is probably the worst knife I have ever purchased.

Pro-Tech 2-inch Sprint Auto with custom inlay.

Scorpion (not the knife)

Brous blades
